I have a Noah's Ark pattern by Alan Dart, but mine was in the September 2007 issue of Simply Knitting. Is this the pattern you are talking about? You can order back issues of Simply Knitting and they will mail it to you in Australia. (I'm not aware of any other Noah's Ark pattern by Alan Dart.)

Hi ,
I thought i would just let you know that Alan Dart has a bookazine out . It has quite a few of his patterns in it including the Noahs Ark.

Check out his website .www.alandart.co.uk

In the US, Irresistible Gifts to Knit is for sale in some of the Barnes and Noble and Borders, magazine section. Apparently it is selling for $19.99 ~ but, it's not in a Barnes and Noble or Borders near me.

Alan just published Noah's Ark in his softbound book, "Irresistible Gifts to knit." I'm sure that you can order it in a book store in Austraillia. The isbn#1-858702-70-4. Hope this helps. Also, you can go to www.alandart.co.uk as he will have downloadable patterns soon.
